NOTHING makes Hari Raya Aidilfitri happier and more complete than visiting friends, according to 12-year-old Mohamad Aidil Ikhwan Mohamad Shukri who lives in Balik Pulau, Penang.

As the eldest among his group of friends and three siblings, he is often entrusted with the responsibility to take care of the younger ones.
